There is no shortage of uses for pallets. Sometimes trends on pinterest can get a bit played out (ex: “how to paint everything chevron!”). But, I haven’t yet gotten tired of seeing some new pins of the vast and creative uses people find for pallets. The ingenuity sometimes blows my mind, and they’re basically always free. (If they’re not free, you’re a little bit doing it wrong. The free-ness is what makes them charming!). One project to put these DIY wonders to use is framing our bathroom’s stale & vacant large mirror.
We found a pallet in very good condition (try small garden and hardware stores). David disassembled it, taking care to avoid cracking the slats.
We stained it using Minwax’s Early American, which was left over from our adding feet to our couch project.
Isn’t lumber even nicer when it’s free? The pieces were easy to nail up, and we had to put very few holes in the wall (yay for renters!).
(So to recap, this project was with all materials that were free or we already owned.)
This bathroom doesn’t have a lot of storage space, so for now we use lots of jars on the counter. That frame just awarded this bathroom 100 warm & cozy points.
